With Friday’s historic overturning of Roe v Wade, leftists are again vacillating between claiming that constitutional rights are being eroded and averring that the Constitution should be irrelevant. One writer doing the latter is The Root’s Candace McDuffie, with a Sunday title reading “The Constitution Was Literally Written By Slaveowners. Why Is America Obsessed With Upholding It?”
Aside from observing that leftists have an odd affinity for the word “literally,” one could note that the writer’s question equates to asking: Why is America obsessed with upholding the law? For the Constitution is the supreme law of our land.
McDuffie’s commentary might not warrant mention had Microsoft Network not chosen to post her article to its homepage. This reflects a serious problem liberal psychologist Robert Epstein warned of in recent years: By controlling the flow of information, Big Tech can, uh, literally(!) shift 15 million votes toward a candidate and thus choose our leaders. (Note: The New American has almost assuredly never graced MSN.com’s homepage). Thus does McDuffie’s misconceptions matter.
